Against All Odds

Highlander romance.

True love beats everything or does it? Their hearths belong together, but everything else besides that is pointing to the contrary.

Since the death of Aila Forsberg’s parents, their Pict tribe has languished without a true leader, caught between two suitable but stubborn young hopefuls: Aila herself, a smart and headstrong beauty with the strength and upbringing to rule; and Dagmar, a renowned hunter and fierce warrior who won’t back down an inch. One could hardly tell that they grew up side by side as friends.

Dagmar and Aila are no closer to figuring out who should rule their people. Both are stubborn and have valid claims. Two weeks until the big Solstice and despite their bickering, the people see a solution that would solve the issues between them just in time for the holidays.

When the solutions start coming forth from their people, both Dagmar and Aila must decide if they can live with each other, or whether they’ll force their people to fight for the right to rule. Can Dagmar and Aila compromise for the sake of the people they love?
